Rolfe and Brosnan asked Rayshard to take a sobriety test followed by a breathalyzer, which read .108(limit is .08) Garrett Rolfe told Brooks he was too drunk to be driving, but he told them he was fine.

I think you’ve had too much to drink to be driving,” Rolfe says.

The officers warn, “You’re going to get Tased! Stop fighting!”

Brooks took the taser gun from Brosnan. ”

“Hands off the Taser!” he’s warned.

Brooks ran from the officers, then three shots were fire.

“And as he turned it over, you’ll be able to see on the video the Atlanta officer, literally reach down to get his service weapon and as he gets his weapon, Mr. Brooks begins turning his body away from him, I presume to flee.”, GBI Director Vic Reynolds said during a Saturday afternoon news conference.
